Having sended my previous mail to this thread just a little too soon...;

How does the following sound;

Using these numbers at the time of Alpha, drop X of the least downloaded 
spins, where X is the number of entirely new spins for a given cycle?

There has to be a maximum, too. We said 10 during FUDCon, but I also 
think we mentioned a maximum DVD vs. CD ratio?
